Menlo Park, CA – May 23, 2005 – Foresight Institute, the original organization in the nanotechnology field, founded in 1986, announced today that it has updated its mission and focus. The organization has also renamed itself Foresight Nanotech Institute to reflect these changes. “As Foresight approaches its twentieth year, it has largely succeeded in its… Continue reading Foresight Nanotech Institute Adopts New Mission
Foresight Institute Conference Tackles Nanotechnology Applications and Public Policy: Environment, Water Purification, Clean Energy, Medicine, Security, Space Exploration, Competitiveness, Zero-Waste Manufacturing and Societal Impacts to be Discussed
The Foresight Institute announced the Feynman Prize Finalists, and also announced doubling the prize purse. Once again separate prizes will be awarded for theoretical work and for experimental work in molecular nanotechnology, and will be presented at the 1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology, Research, Applications, and Policy, to be held October 21-24, 2004, at the Crystal City Marriott Hotel (Washington, DC Area).
Foresight Institute has appointed Scott Mize to the position of President. "This is an important step in our evolution," said Christine Peterson, Founder and former President of Foresight Institute. Peterson will remain with Foresight Institute as Vice President focusing on public policy, legislative issues and education.
